Dank unserer Mailingliste sind schon fast alle Plätze für den Typostammtisch am Donnerstag vergeben. Wer noch daran teilnehmen mag, sollte mir zur Anmeldung noch fix eine E-Mail schreiben. Nur so kommt man vielleicht noch in den Genuss, am gewohnten Ort unserer typografischen Selbsthilfegruppe beizuwohnen. Aus dem fernen Saarbrücken besucht uns dazu Frank Grießhammer, der sich just im Rahmen seines Diploms mit neuen Methoden der Vermarktung von Schriften auseinandergesetzt hat.
Berliner Typostammtisch 11/08: Einladung
Kommentieren:
[...] November’s meeting took place last night in Max und Moritz, which I’ve been told has some of the city’s most authentic local cuisine; I don’t know if the celery schnitzel I ate was a Berlin speciality or not, but it was definitely delicious. The evening’s discussion and entertainment was provided by Frank Grießhammer, who provided a brief but excellent presentation of his graduation project, Kiosk Fonts. I was particularly interested by his ideas; he came to this theme because, like many a design school student, he had a hard drive full of student-made fonts, and hadn’t an idea what to do with them, or how to show them to the world. In and of itself, this is not a new idea. Already this year, we’ve seen the advent of Avoid Red Arrows, a student collective/font platform from the University of Arts and Design in Karlsruhe. Older groups also abound online, like the French Gogotype, which still blogs more than a year and half after all of its student members graduated. (Even the first version of TypeOff.de hoped to go in a similar direction, but we failed miserably.) [...]
schönen dank für einen informativen und erfreulichen abend.
